For those of you saying Suh had one good season. Offenses began double teaming him after his rookie season. Imagine that! That’s what happens to good defensive tackles and it opens opportunities for other defensive players to make a play. That’s a good thing for the defense and a problem for the offense. Do you think that offenses in the NFC aren’t game planning for Suh? Do you think offensive coordinators are fixated on stat sheets like you wannabe couch potatoes? They aren’t. There’s no stat for taking on a double team.

It’s funny how many of you guys say you want an NFL player to be a fearsome beast on the field and quiet off the field, but then have nothing but talk nothing but trash about someone is exactly like that.

Fairly and Suh are a great tandem if they stay healthy. They’ll enable Ansah to have a stellar rookie season as a speed rusher. It’s gonna be an interesting season.

And in July … everybody is going to the Super Bowl!

Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:06:01 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194925#comment-2636690This team needs a running game to keep the defense off the field for awhile and keep opposing defenses from teeing off on their beat up franchise QB. Can’t play action when nobody bites on the run.

Detroit is like a war zone?… yeah, maybe in the outskirts just like New York. Atlanta. Washington. Chicago. Cleveland. i can keep listing big cities but you get the point.

This guy, Titus Young, and Aaron Hernandez are going to start their own little gang once all of them are in prison together. I pray for all of them, but you can never avoid the inevitable.

Yes, because “stomping” (more like wiping foot off) on someone is equivalent or worse than being a serial murderer who kills friends and abandons his daughter. I really hope this guy was trolling… if not than jut wow

He’s so good that casual football fans like yourself don’t even know his real name.

Fri, 05 Jul 2013 06:25:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194925#comment-2636408DT’s in todays NFL are overrated, in order to have a dominant defense you need:
1- a beast pass rusher
2- a shut down corner
3- 9 steady players to support the rusher and the corner

Marcell Dareus and Kyle Williams make imo the best combo still they get lost quite often in the trenches.

Talk about the team, not the city. This city relies on sports and the automotive industry. It may be a craphole, but it’s our craphole and it’s home to the most hardworking people in this country

Thu, 04 Jul 2013 21:47:27 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194925#comment-2636066But the DTs who are not named Suh or Fairley, will actually get more snaps this year than Fairley himself. So what does it mean to have the best, are you talking just a duo or the entire set which is what actually counts?

And it’s ok if Fairley is a bust if the aggregate of the others is better than what Fairley is expecting of himself. So it’s possible that we could have better than what Fairley suggests without Fairley being part of the equation of those that make up the good contributions.

The point is we all have to remember that this isn’t just a game of starters since the entirety of the depth on the bench is often more important than just 1 starter.

The LOMBARDI resides in Baltimore And will STAY with the Ravens this coming season.

Thu, 04 Jul 2013 20:47:25 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194925#comment-2636008I love the attitude of Suh this offseason and the Lions as a whole. They are just quietly going along with their business this offseason, which in my opinion shows the team has turned a corner in regards to maturity,i believe the sky it’s now the limit for this Lions team.Finally all those years of high draft picks will pay off. From a talent standpoint from top to bottom there aren’t my teams with a more talented roster.This may be the year that detroit finally gets a taste of the lambardi trophey. Top 5 d-fence top 5 offence Go Leos.

Oh, and Suh should start playing like the best DT in the league instead of just living off draft hype.

Thu, 04 Jul 2013 20:13:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194925#comment-2635965“These 2 have shown absolutely nothing to warrant this consideration.”

—————————————————-

I wouldn’t go that far. PFF has Fairly and Suh ranked 4th and 5th respectively for DTs/NTs during the 2012 season. That’s not a bad tandem ranking.

The Lions also picked up CJ Mosely in the off season as the third DT (ranked 15th in 2012).
